One of my favorite songs by Kendrick is an un-aired song he performed on a T.V. show. Because it doesn't have an official title, peopled named it Untitled. The whole song was supposed to be a conversation that he is having with a girl he was trying to talk to. It goes from him trying to talk to her, to her asking him about how he treats himself, and how he might become a sell out like most rappers if he follows what record labels say and sign every deal they give him. My favorite verse is the last where he says:
A piece of mines, that what the white man wanted when i rhyme,
telling me that he selling me just for 10.99,
i go platinum for rapping, i do the company fine,
what if i compromise, said it don't even matter,
make a million or more, your living better than average,
your losing your core following, but gaining it all,
put a price on my talent i hit the bank and withdraw.
Not a lot of people heard it yet because it is unreleased, but you should go listen to it.

Mr. Washington's class (ID)
Now I know for a fact that I'm not the only one who's tired of wash's sarcasm. I feel like he really doesn't take his job seriously sometimes. Other times we actually do things that are beneficial like have a discussion. I'm not saying that I don't like his class, it definitely is one of my favorite periods, but he just goes over board sometimes. You could be dead serious about something when you talk to him, then he response with "How's that gonna get you out of this school and into college?" He doesn't even need to be in the conversation, but he'll still put his two cents in, while I just sit there like I didn't ask you.
